Neil, Guess I messed up my reply---trying to quote you. I'm not sure what you meant in your comment to me. I know Andrew seems to know an awful lot about the Italo-Greek-Albanian Church so I don't understand about taking up the torch. Excuse my ignorance---Vito
Vito,
Italo-Greek-Albanian Catholics are few and far between on the forum and both in my tenure here as a registered member and the considerable time before that when I lurked, there have been long periods when no one stepped forth to speak on behalf of issues involving them, except their (and our) Albanian Orthodox brother, Andrew. On a couple of occasions, once when a young lady from Our Lady of Wisdom began posting and another that I now forget, I kidded Andrew that he was going to lose his position as the spokesperson for his Catholic counterparts.
When he yanked our collective chains about linguistic skills, my comeback was to point out the lack of need for any, since we already had him. Because you obviously are interested in that Church (and are a member, I think
), I dragged you into my comedy routine, suggesting that all the Italo-Greico-Albanians seem to eventually disappear - but this closet one (Andrew
) just hangs in there.
Many years,
Neil, who hopes Vito doesn't disappear and who thinks that humor is lost in the explaining of it, but the fault in that isn't Vito's - it was too much my own private joke
